How to consume 6" chicken tikka without glucose spikes

Pair with High-Fiber Vegetables

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. The fiber in these vegetables slows down the absorption of sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats like avocado slices, nuts, or seeds. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Drink Water Before the Meal

Drinking a glass of water before eating can help you feel fuller and may slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Eat Protein-Rich Sides

Consider having a small serving of beans, chickpeas, or lentils alongside your chicken tikka. These protein-rich foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you’re having a side like rice or bread with your meal, choose whole grain options such as brown rice or whole grain bread. They have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Include a Small Salad

Start your meal with a small salad containing leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber from the salad can help slow down glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Be mindful of your portion sizes. Eating smaller portions can help keep your blood sugar levels more manageable.

Use Herbs and Spices

Incorporate herbs and spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which can have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

Eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly can aid in better digestion and gradual absorption of sugar.

Avoid Sugary Drinks

Instead of sugary beverages, opt for water, herbal teas, or other non-sweetened drinks during your meal.
